The argument is that companies do arbitrary things that are both harmful to the health of employees and also harmful to the profitability of the companies.

So the idea is that companies (and society) can actually make more money by doing things that are less impactful on employee health and that they should do them.

That sounds like a good argument that nobody would disagree with but by the end of the day I think that being unemployed is probably worse to your health than having a work "that kills you"

Well, the article isn't arguing that unemployment would be better, so that's apparently just a tedious reaction to the title?
